See it if You loves singing, Shakespeare, and variety shows.

Don't see it if You're not a Shakespeare fan or don't like singing and soliloquies alternating and would rather a story being told.

"Cariou is able to project informality and intimacy...He also intersperses the selections with entertaining and informative chat on his experiences…Cariou travels easily from speech to song and back again. His singing pipes are no longer those of the man he once was, but his technique is such that he always comes through...For lovers of words and songs, 'Broadway and the Bard' is altogether a delightful way to spend an evening in the presence of an artful, seasoned performer."
